Looks good but also looks a little baggy, not so tight fitting. Any way you can pull it tighter?

Not bad for $275 though.

I got my factory leather seats for $300 (entire seats, not just covers) from a guy on the org, great investment!

for some reason I like how it's not tight. I wish I had black leather for under $300, that's an amazing deal. You're going to love the feel of leather, and it won't hold the smell of the cigarette smoke as bad. Are your windows tinted yet? With the black leather it might get hot in the summer, you might want to tint if you haven't already. Looks good!

It looks fine. The smooth, flat parts aren't wrinkly.

The wrinkles are designed to be like that. The leather is tight everywhere except where you actually sit on it. Pluss I actually like it like that. I think it looks more luxourious.
Arrafio, I also have the door inserts with mine.

Now all I need to do is find a power drivers seat , and install the door inserts.

I kind of like the wrinkles on the seat, (I don't know why). Maybe that will stop people from moving side to side during hard conering

No leather door inserts, but I have both power front seats ...have fun trying to install the leather inserts. The cloth inserts do not come out, they are part of the door, so the leather ones have to be installed over the cloth, gonna be tricky.
You might want to have it professionally done.

Wrinkles aren't bad-looking to me either. Reminds of me of a leather easy-chair or a leather sofa or something. Looks quite cozy.

The leather looks great.

As for the door inserts...the dealer re-upholsetered my interior when I bought it in March. Now the door inserts are starting to come off a little bit. Is there a certain kind of glue or adhesive I can use to stick it back on? Where can I find such a product?

auto part stores sell upholstery glue. Mine came in a spray can, from Pep boys.

My leather seat kit came with 3M adhesive spray to put the door inserts in. You can buy it in any Wal-Mart, K-Mart etc.

ive done the inserts on the doors... its not that bad. just use a 3M adhisive that is really strong.. and be sure to buy pading to go behind the leather insert.. (unless that came with the kit).. you will need to buy a boarder for the insert becouse there is really no way to make the edges a smooth fit.. ill get some pics of mine online within the next few days... ill pm them to you...
